Lady and gentlemen, boys and girl, welcome to these prestigious United Lounge End of Year Awards.
Welcome to this annual showcase of the very best the Lounge has to offer. *rapturous applause*
Thanks to the moderators for allowing me the honour of running these acclaimed awards.

The Rules
Simply vote for which member you think is most deserving of each award by placing their name next to the category. For your vote to be counted, you must post in this thread and this thread only. No voting through private messages.

In general, all votes should be cast based on activity in 2014. But if you feel strongly about a 2013 thread or post etc., vote for it as we didn’t have any awards last year.

You don't have to vote on every single category, and you can exceptionally submit more than one member for a particular category if you really, really cannot decide between two members.

DO NOT vote for yourself, and DO NOT tell other members whom to vote for, whether that's you or someone else. Anyone who breaks these two rules will be trampled to death by ponies.

Voting starts right away and will continue for about 3 weeks, say 2nd Jan. The results will be posted on the 5 of January 2015.

In the Special Achievement Award category you can nominate anyone for anything not covered by the other categories. Specify the reason for the award. It can be any reason whatsoever.

You may edit your post but do not make duplicate submissions. If you must change your mind, mention it’s an update and include only the changed category/ies.
